About Foundation

The Circle of Hope - Matthew Tot Foundation is a compassionate and dedicated advocate for comprehensive drug policy reform in Canada. Inspired by the loss of our brother Matthew, a beautiful soul who battled addiction and homelessness, we strive to turn personal tragedy into a force for positive change. We are united in our commitment to reducing drug-related harm through legalization, education, and support, drawing upon our collective empathy to inform our approach. Through focused educational resources, we illuminate the complexities of addiction, the impact of current drug laws, and the potential benefits of reform. By collaborating with a diverse network of organizations, researchers, and policymakers, we actively drive the movement towards legislative change. Our foundation is a beacon of hope, an invitation to join the circle and become part of a compassionate solution to a complex problem.
